In reply to Anyone use Klonopin as a mood stabilizer?, posted by garnet71 on May 31, 2009, at 16:45:33
I do and it works wonders for me but I'm not BP, it helps me with restless leg syndrome, anxiety, panic and mood stabilization. I have never suffered from the depressive effects that some people do from this drug. It kills 4 birds with one stone for me, and yes it is recognised as a mood stabilizer, but that might still be off label, I'm not sure, you'll have to check with your pdoc.
